What’s the best way to store burgers in the freezer? What are peoples experiences with those silicone shape n store containers or a burger press type container?  
We love making homemade burgers but I’d like to find a better way to store lots in the freezer.

has stackable single serve hamburger pattie containers just take off how many patties you want to cook put the sealed ones back in freezer we like them

We usually just freeze them in stacks of 4 on a cookie sheet with wax paper between them. Once frozen put in extra large freezer bag.

We do in a Tupperware 3 or 4 stacked up with wax paper between each burger. If you need, microwave a stack for a few seconds and they come apart easy.

I just freeze on a cookie sheet, once frozen toss them in a ziplok bag in freezer. Just take out what we need.

The reply’s maybe suggest the freezing and then putting in ziplock bags is still the best way instead of some of these other container. Lol! This is what we normally do too, but was curious if anyone had any better experiences.  
Some of these other containers are so expensive thought I’d check if was worth it.

I use ziploc freezer bags if I know it’s not going to be in the freezer for more than 1-2 months but if it’s something that may be in there longer, I use the vacuum sealer.  
 
I like Tupperware but I want to get daily use of them. I’m not spending a bunch of money to have them sit in the freezer all the time lol

Starfit makes a really good burger maker which you make your desired size .... and if I hand press them I individually Saran them.

I usually freeze them on a cookie sheet, then vacuum seal meal sized portions. If you cook alot of food in advance I highly recommend a vacuum sealer. Its a game changer for sure.

with vacuum sealers is the plastic waste, they are basically single use, and the plastic used does not appear to be recyclable, at least the Foodsaver Brand does not have any such logos.  
Personally I would use a reusable ziplock bag, or even two, one inside the other. You can always use a straw to suck out as much air as possible as you seal.

this is what i do too

I use ziploc too. Wax paper on between. I will try to use a bag that's already been used so that this is it's "end application" before being tossed out. Alternatively, if I have a plastic container large enough I'll just use that.  
 
I use a canning lid and ring as my "mold" to form and measure each patty. It's perfect because  
1 I already own them,  
2 I have 3 different sizes for different things, that give 3 different weights and dimensions, and  
3 They pop apart so it's easy to remove each patty as I form them.  
 
I just pop them in the dishwasher after and have specific ones I use for this purpose (the lids are already used, so would otherwise end up in landfill anyway).
